Cookbook Giveaway: “Herbivoracious” by Michael Natkin

This past weekend, I whipped up the Potato and Green Bean Salad with Arugula Pesto from Michael Natkin‘s Herbivoracious, but that is just one of the many recipes I’ve tagged to try in his book filled with colorful photos of delicious-sounding vegetarian dishes. What I really enjoy about flipping through the pages of this volume is that he has captured a variety of cultures, cuisines, and tastes, bringing each dish to life through the beautiful pictures that he took to go along with the recipes. He caters to the sweet toothed among us, as well, with a whole section of enticing dessert suggestions.

Thanks to the publishers at the Harvard Common Press, I have a signed copy of Herbivoracious to give to one reader. The giveaway instructions and details are listed below.
